LOL

Brown's having BOTH arms held by two Bombers defenders while going for the ball and the umpires don't call a free kick. Pathetic, laughable, unbelievable frankly.

    I have to say, on this form, (deep breath) it would be an abomination if we lost to North Melbourne in a few weeks.

    They are miles off the pace. 18 geriatrics in wheelchairs would provide a better display of skills.

    Seven's commentary... leaves much to be desired.

    Watching tonight, it's painfully clear to me that the conditions probably cost us the game last week. Essendon are absolute faeces.

    The conditions, as predicted, kept it close and tight and gave them a sniff. It also buggered our accuracy.

    Feel for the umps, sure they make some errors but the constant rule changes would make it bloody tough

    But we let them shagg us in the third quarter. That's where fairdinkum footy is won.

    I wish the MFC teams of the last eight years had <once> got stuck in at a half time brawl. We are still soft.

    Missing quote for context.

    Won a little bit of North tonight but will not be betting on them again all year. They are a mess, if they fall into the 8 hopefully they are bundled straight back out along with Richmond.

    Tipped them by 28 pts. So close!

    I can't remember a season with such an even spread but so few genuine challengers. No-one looks remotely likely outside of the top four and even then . . .

    It's funny how every season the commentators bang on about how "even" the competition is, yet the results paint a different story. For me, the league is clearly divided into 3 categories: premiership contenders (1-4), wildly overestimate themselves (5-12), and no chance in hell (13-18).

    Not to mention that the conditions were the same for both teams; ergo, not an excuse.

    Nice, I only go head to head.

    I tried getting smart once by tipping qtr by qtr leaders to increase the odds. Suns lead at qtr time, Hawks went on to win by over 100.

    Now I just keep it simple. Small amounts still add up.

    Multis are a good way to make fast money. Just combine 4 or 5 "sure things," as you said.

    ...not that I'm a gambling addict, or anything... ;)

    I took one multi with

    North dogs Eagles Hawks dockers Giants dees crows saints

    Combined odds of $147.93.

    Dogs and saints are big chances I think.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
